John Stevens Guys Quotations

I would totally disagree with that comment. I don't think we're ever considered as a soft hockey team. We've had this conversation before, our guys that are expected to score, need to score.

Riley is one of those guys that once he was in the lineup, he was hard to take out. He stands up for his teammates in the right situations and because he works so hard he keeps getting better and better. Whether he plays a little or a lot, he always brings energy to our lineup. He could play three minutes or take a regular shift and you always know he's out there. When a guy works as hard as he can, it has an effect on the people around him.

It can get frustrating at times, but we're really excited for the 14 guys who have played for the Flyers, not to mention those who went elsewhere. You always want your players to get a chance. It's great when guys like Eager and Meyer get rewarded for continuing to work hard. And when guys go up, somebody else has to step up.

The guys on our team that are expected to score need to score but they need to dig in and pay a bigger price to score in my opinion.

There were some guys who had been in some minor trouble, but they were a small minority.

He's one of our most physical guys and he defends very well. He understands systems and concepts and tactical plans very, very well.
